Forever views from HOT TUB overlooking Kenai National Wildlife Refuge near river
EXCLUSIVE VIEW PROPERTY! LARGE, CUSTOM POST & BEAM HOME OVERLOOKING KENAI NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE. 14 YEARS IN OPERATION WITH 100% FIVE STAR REVIEWS. PERFECT FOR LARGE FAMILY/FRIEND GROUPS. HOT TUB ON DECK WITH FOREVER VIEWS.
Raven's Bluff House is unique among properties in the central Kenai Peninsula. With 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, two full kitchen/living areas, a large deck and outdoor lawn area, your group will have plenty of space to relax, gather, rest, and recharge in the Alaska wilderness.
An architectural gem, this custom-built post and beam home boasts 30 ft vaulted ceilings...making the view inside the home a perfect compliment to the vast and spectacular vista outside. There is simply no better view in the area...guests often comment that the pictures do not do it justice, and frankly, it's just not possible to capture what awaits you. Many guests say they loved the home so much they wished they'd planned less sightseeing trips and just spent more time at this unique property. We are proud of our 11 year history in business and our 5 STAR guest review streak over that entire period. We've taken great feedback from our guests and every year make an investment in improving Raven's Bluff in any way we can to make sure our guests have a wonderful vacation.
Many upgrades have been made to the house in the last few years, including high-end kitchen appliances, a 6-person hot tub on the deck, new lighting, quality furniture and bedding/towels, large smart TVs, heating systems, ceiling fans, landscaping, new roofs, rooftop solar, new Anderson doors and windows, custom blackout blinds, and every kitchen gadget imaginable including new Nespresso machines in each kitchen.
Raven's Bluff House has two separate units, the upper which has 3 bedrooms/2 baths and the lower (Bear Den) which has 2 bedrooms/1 bath. They are not connected internally and you'll need to access through an outside door, which allows for great privacy for larger groups.
Alaska is a wonderland of natural beauty and amazing resources, which our family has spent generations protecting through conservation efforts. We welcome you to our vacation home where you too can become a 'Sourdough' and share in this unique experience. The home is available year round. Winter travelers will be rewarded with an incredible show of colorful northern lights and millions of stars in the dark Arctic night. Nearby winter activities include cross-country skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and hot beverage drinking! Summer guests will be rewarded with midnight sun, vast and expansive views, solitude, wildlife, and world-class salmon and halibut fishing.
The house is centrally located in Sterling which makes day trips to both Homer and Seward possible for touring both Kachamak and Resurrection Bays with their incredible wildlife, fishing, shopping and history.
Multi-generational families taking their once-in-a-lifetime trip to Alaska will especially appreciate this property. The house comfortably sleeps 10 people.

Perfect Getaway for Our Family
We recently celebrated our 50th anniversary with a trip to Alaska with our family. There were 10 of us in all ranging in age from 10 to 77. While on the Kenai Peninsula we were busy daily with fishing, floating the river, a wildlife cruise, and hiking. But as my son-in-law says, it was staying at Raven’s Bluff House that really made the trip. If we’d stayed in a lodge or even another VRBO, it just wouldn’t have been the same experience. The grounds were spacious and had everything we could possibly want—a fire pit, beautiful deck with hot tub, some fishing equipment, bikes, etc. The kitchen was well appointed and had plenty of everything so we didn’t have to keep washing silverware and glasses, etc. The caretakers, Paul and Sheila, live in a cabin nearby and it was nice to know they were nearby if we had questions or needed anything.It is obvious that they take pride in maintaining the cabin to the highest standards.

The home was fantastic. The caretaker was wonderful. We did not have any major needs while we were there but he was always sure to check on us! There was s’more makings on the counter for the kids, fishing gear, coolers, bikes, and almost anything you could need in the kitchen including tons of spices/seasonings! Highly recommend this property! From young to old, our entire group had a great time here!

Perfect house to experience all of Alaska!
Where to start? Amazing home, perfect views, comfortable home with very comfortable beds. Home owner Juniper and house managers Shelia and Paul were five star service! We enjoyed all their advice and they were extremely welcoming and accommodating! We had two families, four kids and four adults so the house was the most perfect layout. It had everything we needed and more. Centrally located to every city and trail, plus the drive from many cities was stunning. The drive from Anchorage to Sterling was heaven. The beautiful turquoise waters all around us on fishing and hikes were truly spectacular. If you want to experience beautiful Alaska, while staying at an incredible home, this is it!!!! The home is so well stocked with every amenity possible. We all enjoyed the hot tub from the deck! We are ready to come back. We also experienced two great river fishing trips via Mark and Cindy Glassmaker fishing charters and we would highly recommend using them for any fishing needs, which are close to house. Thank you Juniper, Shelia, and Paul for the hospitality, which made our trip perfect!!!

Peaceful retreat with stunning views!
We loved Raven's Bluff House! Central to Homer and Seward (2 hour drives) as a home base, we could come back after a day of adventure and relax in the hot tub and enjoy the mountain / glacier views. Plenty of outdoors gear was available too. Check out our house review on Kovaction at YouTube! Search #kovaction and look for the red flying K.

Paradise on the Kenai Peninsula
We had an incredible week on the Kenai Peninsula. We had the opportunity to fish, hike, see TONS of wildlife like bears and moose, and no matter what the day brought, we always could come home and enjoy the amazing accommodations that this magical place has to offer.
This space is clean, comfortable, and has incredible views and an amazing yard. Plenty of room for activities, games, dinner on the deck, and the hot tub was also amazing.
The property management team is so quick to respond and to help with anything that you might need.
Kitchen is fully stocked with literally anything and everything you could think of.
They also have tons of extras like bikes, waders, fishing stuff. Very awesome!
Thank you so much for our stay!

Relaxing retreat with beautiful mountain view
Our family of eight traveled to the Kenai peninsula to experience fishing during the salmon run. We chose this place to stay because of its location, its size, the hot tub and the beautiful mountain view. We were not disappointed!! What a great property! We were pleasantly surprised to find the property equipped with additional fishing equipment, a fully equipped kitchen, a deep freeze to store all of our fish. We could not have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved this place. We even had a moose and her baby go past the deck one night. The internet is the only thing that doesn't work very well, but you are on vacation in the middle of the wilderness, so that is to be expected. You couldn't find a nicer place, and they do everything to make your trip special. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Very nice place to stay, with a beautiful view.
I caught myself calling this property home in the week we stayed there, and while I don't expect to own a place this nice in Alaska, I would want to stay here again! Nice property with beautiful view of mountains to the East. Great beds and appliances! We enjoyed the hot tub on the deck! Good service from the caretaker! Just understand whether the Bear's Den is included or not when booking. It was clearly specified but I didn't notice it at first, but it was very satisfactory for us without the Bear's Den.

Really awesome house and location
We really had a great time at this property. Juniper was amazingly accommodating for our trip which required multiple revisions to our reservation. The house is large and has everything you could need. Great new hot tub. Amazing nighttime views. The main house was perfect for our family of five including 3 adult kids, 21 through 25. Juniper allowed us to use her fishing gear and we caught a our own batch of sockeye salmon at the nearby river, and we are totally unskilled at fishing. We cooked them up using the grill at the the house!
House is secluded but safe and short drive to town with all amenities. No question that I would stay there again and recommend to friends.

Gorgeous Views
This is a spectacular vacation rental. The listing is spot on. All the amenities are exactly as promised. The beds are super comfortable. There were 8 of us age 18 to 87 and the property met the needs of everyone. The location is beautiful, quiet, views; but not too far from everything in Soldatna. The owner provided lots of good information before our arrival on activities and restaurants. The on site caretaker was very responsive to any questions or needs during our stay. I would definitely rent this property again. We hated to leave!
